My mom used to be and it's not forbidden. It might be heavily discouraged within certain congregations. I don't recall any time while she was deep in that faith that she refused a glass of wine now and then (rarely, but no different than when she wasn't a JW). I would imagine like with all faiths, substance abuse is not acceptable.
